It's targeted at teenagers; you can bet that these little contrarian assholes will fire up a torrent client right after the first lesson. And what's more, they'll even educate them on malwares! Big win for piracy in Denmark 🤓
In the U.S. circa 2016, so many kids were just finding pirate streaming sites for movies and such during class on school computers. I imagine it's similar elsewhere for students who've finished their work and are bored, but boy, now they have the knowledge of how to get countless other types of media for free.
Piracy is a service problem. The goal shouldn't be to indoctrinate our youth to avoid it, it should be to stop releasing subpar, overpriced products.
